Waterchase Golf Course
About
Bring your best game to the Links at Waterchase--a long, difficult course that can be had if you get your mind right. Intimidating because of its length (7,304 yards), much of the extra yardage comes from five excruciatingly long par 5s. The key here is to manage these holes, get on the green or close in three, then do what you have to do for your pars.
If you play regularly at a local par 3 course, you might want to work in a practice round before taking on The Links, since there’s five par 3s.
Watch out for the enders on each side, which frame the scenic pond and waterfall that are sandwiched between the two greens. No. 9 is a 433-yard par 4, and requires a solid drive on the left side. Pay attention to the pin placement, as there is water behind the green. No. 18 goes 570 yards from the tips, and offers target golf at its best. You’ll need to lay up at least 120 yards from the hole, and keep the approach below the pin to assure yourself of an uphill putt.
Getting there : Located on the east side of Fort Worth at I-30 and Eastchase Pkwy. Take the Eastchase exit and drive north to John T. White Rd. Turn right and drive a short distance, then take the first right on Randoll Mill Rd. Turn left on Creek Run Rd.

Very Enjoyable round
Played here with a couple others on a recomendation, I am not from the area. And it didn't dissapoint. This course was well maintained. Very enjoyable course, there are some "weird" holes, 2 way different ways to a par 5 is fun. The fairways are pretty wide which helps with some of the holes you may not expect what you get. The greens held a shot very well even from myself a higher handicap, and they rolled really well and were quick. The pro shop has a great selection of balls, clothing and snacks. The staff was very friendly. There are some tables to sit at, but the proshop/snackshop isn't huge and there isn't a "bar" area but they do serve beer at least. I would return here in a heartbeat.
One of the best in DFW
I've played Waterchase before but not in the past 5 years or so. I had forgotten how great it is. The course is in pristine condition but the greens truly are some of the best in DFW. They are immaculate. Course was busy but we still made it around in 4 hours. Very fair, challenging test. Definitely one of the best experiences in DFW.
Fantastic staff and course!
Course is always in top notch shape, pro’s and staff are second to none. Closest you can get in the DFW area to a private course. Highly recommend this track.
Great, versatile course. Used all clubs in the bag
A really well kept, interesting course in great condition. Will come back.
Booked online, easy. Facilities top notch. Friendly staff.
My girlfriend rode along and I thought the $25 spectator fee was a little high
Great Course
Great Course! Had an early morning Sunday tee time, was never pushed from behind or held up by the group in front, which was a pleasant surprise for a holiday weekend. The course itself is awesome. As the other reviews say, it's tricky. There are some hard holes. Definitely bring some extra balls, especially if it's your first time playing. There were a handful of times I thought I hit a good shot, only to find there was a hazard I couldn't see. But! I liked that! The course was in great shape too, fairways were nice, roughs weren't too punishing but still noticeable difference. The greens were great, ran true and fast. The bunkers were rough, but understandable given all the rain. A little pricey at 75 bucks in my opinion, but would definitely go back again, and plan on it!
Great course, slow with no marshall
PlayedSunday. Of course it should be a little slow but 5 hours for us. Slow group ahead and no marshal to push them along. I'll be back but not on the weekend.
Fantastic Course
Not many courses are in this amazing shape this time of year. Receptive greens, lush fairways and well maintained bunkers (though luckily I avoided those). Grounds crew should certainly be applauded. Challenging course as well. Definitely rewards accuracy over power. Though power is certainly needed sometimes. And it drains very well. Its been pouring in DFW the past 2 days and I honestly dont remember any standing water anywhere. Staff was also very friendly and polite. And for the price it's impeccable. I definitely will play again
Great course
Not many courses around here are in this great of shape, particularly this time of year. Great receptive greens, lush fairways and well maintained bunkers (though luckily I avoided those). Especially for the pricing, its impeccable. And challenging to say the least. Definitely rewards accuracy over power, though at times power is certainly necessary. It would have played even better were it not soggy-ish considering it just poured the last 2 days. But it drained very well, I can't even remember seeing much standing water on the course, if any. Staff was very nice. Grounds crew should be applauded for their very very good work
Beautiful / Challenging Course!
Such an immaculate conditioned course! Beautiful layout and terrain... for about 4 hours, I forgot I was in Texas and thought I was in South Carolina or something playing golf!
Very challenging course if you cannot control your golf ball!!! LOTS of hazards, water, and windy brush areas that come into play. For a average golfer like me with not the best shot control, it made for quite a few lost balls and a not-so-stellar day but it was absolutely worth it with how beautiful and interesting the course is! Cannot wait to play it again!
BEST Course in DFW with fun holes
By far my favorite course around Dallas. Beautiful and well kept course. Very fun and interesting holes. Greens were in Excellent condition and lots of water and large sand-traps to make the course challenging. Loved the split fairways with trees or water in the center. Cant wait to go back.
Just moved to Texas
Moved here 3 weeks ago and have golfed a few courses and Waterchase is my favorite so far. Staff and the gentlemen I was paired with were super friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend giving it go.
Such a great layout
Lots of risk reward, split fairways, links style. Love this place. Not terribly long but if you don’t hit it straight you’ll pay. Greens are really nice and challenging too.
